<strong>On the occasion of the 102nd birth anniversary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, renowned director Shyam Benegal released the poster of the film <em>Mujib – The Making of a Nation</em> at the National Film Development Corporation, Mumbai on Thursday. A biopic on the father of the nation of Bangladesh, fondly known as Bangabandhu, is a joint production of India and Bangladesh.</strong></p>

Speaking on the occasion, Benegal who has helmed the film, described it a tough task for him to bring Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s towering life on the screen. “Mujib – The Making of a Nation remains a very emotional film for me; to bring Bangabandhu’s towering life on reel is a tough task; we have portrayed his character in an uncompromising way. Mujib remained a great friend of India. We hope the poster connects with the audiences.”</p>
<p>
Talking about his experience on essay the role of Bangabandhu, actor Arifin Shuvoo from Bangladesh said: “Fascinated to be playing the role of Mujib. This is a dream come true. I am honoured to be a part of this iconic project, and to be directed by the legend himself, Shyam Benegal Ji. No words to express how big this feature film is for me and for my nation. I felt the warmth and great hospitality during the production of the film in India. Hopeful that I have justified the role and the audiences will connect with me and love the film, the way they love Bangabandhu.”</p>
